VI Credit and Grading System
21. A student’s academic result is assessed on the basis of the approved assessment
schedule for each course. If an examination is prescribed as part of the assessment schedule,
a student is required to pass the examination component in order to be awarded an overall
Pass for the course. In the case of Honours Projects, theses, dissertations, Field-
work/Internship courses and courses where there is no final examination, the course is
assessed entirely by continuous assessment.
22. The passing grade is ‘D’ in any subject; a student earns no credits for the course(s) in
which he has failed.
23. The grading system of the University is as follows:
Grade Academic Performance
A Excellent
A-
B+
Good
B
B-
Fair
C+
C Average
C-
Pass
D+
D Bare Pass
E Redeemable Failure
F Failure
P Passed in “Passed/Not Passed” only Course
NP Not Passed in “Passed/Not Passed” only Course
TR Credits Transferred from Exchange Programmes
A student who receives grade ‘E’ may have a make-up examination for that course once,
and if he fails again, he must repeat the course.
A student who receives grade ‘F’ will not have a make-up examination and must repeat
the course.
24. Grades are on a 4-point system for which the quality points are given below:
Grade Quality Point Grade Point
(for a 3-credit course)
A 4.0 12.0
A- 3.7 11.1
B+ 3.3 9.9
B 3.0 9.0
